The main thing that stands out working with Matt is it was clear his goal was helping me find a home that I would be happy with now and for years to come. His realistic, easy-going, and common sense approach helped me feel comfortable working with him. I’ve worked with many realtors, Matt stands out as one that truly also has the best interest of the buyer in mind. Other advantages working with Matt (vs. other realtors) is his knowledge of construction and openness to show listings from other realtors. (less)

The whole process of buying a house from start to finish which was about 10 months for us was made extremely easy with all of Matts knowledge and expertise. He not only knows about buying and selling houses he is also highly knowledgeable about the whole overall construction of homes which really helped when looking at houses. He listened to the needs and wants of our whole family and worked hard to find just the right house for our family of 6 which wasn't easy on our tight budget but he never stopped looking or got discouraged with us when we would say "nope not the one Matt". Then finally just the right house came along and it was well worth waiting for we love our new home Matt helped us find and couldn't be happier. (less)

We were first time buyers and new to Grinnell. Matt listened to how we described our ideal home AND how we described the level of work we wanted to put into remodeling a home. He also paid attention to who we were and how that translated into our needs in a house. We ended up buying not the house we thought we wanted, but rather the one that was (is) perfect for our family. Also, since we were out of state from the time we made the offer to the closing date, Matt was great in terms of setting us up with inspectors, lenders, etc., and making sure that all the paperwork was in the right place at the right time. And, most importantly, he's just really nice and fun to spend time with! (less)
